Since you have a Yorkie (very smart little dog!) then you should have no problems. Don't get a larger door than necessary, get one that is just a tad higher than the height of your dog's shoulders. A dog will lower it's head and take most of the door flap weight on it's back.
Yep they are smart, too smart sometimes. Both will do anything for treats so training them is easy. Thanks for the info. Ideally we would like two doors as right now they wake my wife up twice during the night. Hard to change their bathroom habits but witht he move we hope to change their habits as well as ours.
